#mymusicportrait ๐น๐‘…๐ธ๐’ฎ๐ป๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป ugh i almost donโ€™t want to post this cuz itโ€™s too embarrassing but luckily thereโ€™s no real photos of it. anyways my fit for my first ever day of highschool was completely ridiculous๐Ÿ‘•: a t-shirt w/ Baby Carlos from The (og) Hangover movie on it, those white 2000s plaid shorts, black nike socks n black vans [a pic has been provided for more clarity]. You have to understand tho, all these things were popular at the time ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ ok maybe not the t-shirt but Hangover as a movie was. It was still 2010 so dressing well as a teen was not rlly part of the zeitgeist yet; peak fashion was still like, Juicy Couture tracksuits n Ed Hardy tees. Anyways, i remember planning this outfit SPECIFICALLY to stand out. Not only as funny, but also to make me seem fun n chill [insert โ€œiโ€™m just a chill guyโ€ meme]. Which, it DID ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข work, & i got some compliments. Mostly laughs n stares tho, but hey any publicity is still good publicity ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ“ธ

#mymusicportrait ๐—˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿƒ Our last day of the trip + last day in Ireland was spent with a boat ride round a loch, and also riding a horse cairrage over a mountain pass so overall it made for a pretty epic closer. We also did some last minute gift shopping, where I bought my then girlfriend Stephanie a claddagh ring ๐Ÿ’ (iykyk) but unfortunately iโ€™d never give it to her (iโ€™ll explain why later ๐Ÿ˜”tho u can probably guess). then we also got to stay up all night partying in the hotel rooms bcuz our flight left at like 4am. It was a fun time. I remember on the way to the airport too in the morning my trip buddy Becca peed her pants bcuz there was no bathroom on the bus and she didnโ€™t wanna make it stop ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿงป like i said, exciting trip

#mymusicportrait ๐—ถ <๐Ÿฏ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—บ dedicating this one to my actual mom, she loves the Carpenters & actually learned to play drums + sing just like Karen Carpenter growing up. Sheโ€™s the reason I love the outdoors, animals, & music. We always went on family camping trips & other outings. In fact i spent today helping her garden ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŒพ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฟ Sheโ€™s put up with a lot. The worst/most embarrassing tho is probably on one camping trip when i was really young I refused to poop in the woods. To the point i started throwing a major tantrum. Eventually I had no choice tho, so he held up a towel for me to do my business and it was just explosive and got all over her shoes ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿงปworst part is tho they were taking home videos the whole trip and part of it is me throwing my tantrum ๐Ÿ˜ช๐Ÿ“นoh the things we put our mothers throughโ€ฆ

#mymusicportrait ๐—–๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฐ(๐—ฎ๐—น) ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ does anyone else remember this group? I feel like for a brief period they were super popular and totally paved the way for 2cellos and VitaminStringQuarter n what not, but anyways as a cellist myself at the time i was of course ALSO obsessed ๐Ÿคฉ ๐ŸŽป especially this song song cuz i LOVED ThreeDaysGrace & therefore adam but also cuz they did a song with Corey Taylor who i also loved cuz Slipknot. So having a group that combined everything i loved in middle school (metal/rock and orchestra) was very validating for me cuz i always felt both those set me apart from my peers. Actually a lot of things probably did that (i was never very conventionally โ€œcoolโ€ if u hadnโ€™t figured that out by now). But fr Apocalyptica inspired me so much I even bought rock music scores which i still have along with my cello, and i even tried to write a few rock songs on my cello myself as well (before i learned actual guitar).

#mymusicportrait ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐— ๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ผ๐—ท๐—ผ ๐Ÿฆ what is/was everyoneโ€™s nickname if u have one? iโ€™ve had several but my first was Mojo Jojo. I watched a lot of powerpuff girls and i also had big ears ๐Ÿ‘‚ so my mom and also randomly my uncle always used to call me Mojo Jojo. Infact my uncle even bought me a Mojo Jojo shirt one year for my birthday (embrassing then, fond memories now). Sometimes he still calls Mojo for short, but not my mom. Also iโ€™m sad Devo never liscensed their โ€œGo Monkey Go!โ€ song for streaming, otherwise i would post that one, so iconic. But also I forgot Frank Black of the Pixies also sang a song specifically for the show, so thatโ€™s neat. Actually their soundtrack was kinda stacked lwk. Must be all the mojoโ€ฆ

#mymusicportrait ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—น does anyone else vividly remember where they were the first time they heard this song? itโ€™s my 9/11 iโ€™ll never forget it. we were at a hobby shop with my brother, dad, and cousin (my brother was rlly into model trains) and it was pouring rain so we were rashing to get into the car and as soon as we started it this song came on the radio 1077.7 the bone and we thought it was funniest thing ever (we were all like, 5th grade boys atp), We all still talk about it sometimes lol
